Blurb: “The art of reconstructing civilizations from the artifacts of daily life demands integrity and imagination. Indians of North America displays both in its description of the enormous variation of culture patterns among Indians from the Arctic to Panama at the high points of their histories—a variation which was greater than that among the nations of Europe.
For this second edition, Harold Driver has made extensive revisions in chapter content and organization, incorporating many new discoveries and interpretations in archeology and related fields. He has also revised several of the maps and added more than 100 bibliographical items, most of them with dates in the 1960's. Since the publication of the first edition in 1961, there has been an increased interest in the activities of Indians in the twentieth century; accordingly, the author has placed much more emphasis on this period, especially the post-1960 years.
Indians of North America is impressively detailed, clear, and authoritative.
The second edition updates a work which is already firmly established as an excellent text and reference for students who have had a previous introduction to anthropology, and for professional anthropologists as well.
HAROLD E. DRIVeR is professor of anthropology at Indiana University.
He is co-author of Comparative Studies of North American Indians and Indian Farmers of North America and has contributed widely to anthropological journals.”
